John Gill, on Neh 4:21

“And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.”

“So we laboured in the work,.... Of building the wall: and half of them held the spears; and other weapons before mentioned, Neh 4:16 from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared; that is, from morning to evening, the space of time the builders and labourers worked.”
